Guild Wars 2

keenlam.4753:

you can try a phantasm build with sword/focus + staff. Its a fun build that I used back then, u aggro mobs with staff aa, let mobs swarm on you then u drop a chaos storm, switch to sword/focus, summon iwarden then hack away until they all die.

Maybe something like this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsdWEeoNiqhcynDJVgS2pEA-e

This seems very close to what I was thinking of doing…

- What stats do I want on my armor?
- What about runes and sigils?
- Is there an effective greatsword variant to this build?
- Would you pretty much always avoid shattering unless it will finish the fight?
- Could you suggest some skills to go along with Signet of Illusions?
- For the sake of skill text, does the word “illusions” include phantasms? (I am guessing yes, or Signet of Illusions wouldn’t make sense)

What does everyone else think about this build?

Hi,

I am looking for a mesmer leveling build that reflects the recent changes to the talent system. I like to level by clearing a zone to 100% and then moving on to the next one. I always play alone.

I played https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Lazy-Kai-s-Guide-to-PvE-Leveling-Guide-Update from 1-40, and found it to be too “glass cannon” for leveling.

I played Clone Cripple Bomb: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1cjmri/new_player_guide_to_leveling_a_mesmer_the/ from 40-60, and found it to be very effective, but quite boring.

Now that I am looking for a change again at 60, I find it hard to research online because nothing seems to be updated to the new talent system.

Please advise!!!

I just wanted to ask, what build should I run on my warrior for sPvP? Or was that build given to me intended to be for all game modes?

What order should I put talent points in as I level for the first build? What is the rotation? What stats should I look for on my gear? Your help has been priceless.

Okay I will stay on Sea of Sorrows. My play time will likely be midnight til 5am EST due to a weird work shift, so perhaps being on the unofficial “Oceanic” server isn’t such a bad thing. I would say I lean slightly towards direct damage, but DoTs could work too, I have no clear preference there. I notice though that melee damage automatically cleaves in this game, so DoTs could feel like a disadvantage unless they are easily spreadable. In terms of survivability, I would prefer to be balanced, in such a way that I am not easy to kill, but my damage is decent. I definitely do not enjoy playing glass cannons.

Lindbur I didn’t say I was going to leave Blackgate, I am currently on Sea of Sorrows and Blackgate is where I would like to start over. My questions regarding Blackgate is because it seems like the best server but I am afraid of things such as lag, gold seller spam ruining chat, queue times, etc…

Can someone provide me with a Warrior leveling build?

OK a few more questions, by the way the answers already given were above and beyond my expectations, especially with how fast the responses were! In regards to those links, there is definitely some things in there I don’t know, but for the most part it is a review. Anyhow:

- When you say the wallet and the personal bank, does that include my crafting item storage?
- Is it a bad idea to reroll Blackgate? How bad is the lag?
- You mention that Necromancers are weak in PvE… Is this a reference to group play? How are they in soloing groups of monsters or soloing veterans?
- How are Warriors at soloing groups of monsters or soloing veterans?
- Do Warriors have difficulty in the game based on the fact that there are too many other Warriors?
- What classes are Warriors the strongest and weakest against? How about Necros?

As you can tell, I am leaning towards playing Warrior on Blackgate. Is this a good choice based on everything I’ve said about my intentions with the game?

Hi,

I am wanting to get back into this game. Never really gave it a fair chance the first time to be honest. Gonna ask a few questions that will help me:

- Does server in this game matter? If so, where should a PvP orientated player roll?
- Is there a wait time to log on to Blackgate? (Like players occur on Illidan in WoW)
- Is there an “unofficial” Eastern Standard Time server?
- Do some servers lag more than others?
- How does Necro rank in solo PvP? How about solo PvE?
- Same questions but for Warrior. Also, is Warrior too overplayed to be worth playing?
- If I were to delete my characters to reroll another server, what do I get to bring with me to the new server? What do I leave behind?

As you can see, my biggest questions evolve around two main thoughts: What should I play and where should I play it? This is important to me because I want to have just one character that I master, and only play the others enough to get a feel for what my opponents are capable of.

I sincerely mean it when I say that I will greatly appreciate any help received on this post. Please support all answers with why you feel that way, it will be much more informative.
